Hmmm, what's left, then? Oh yeah--I had toast for breakfast this morning.

Thanks a lot--I'll be here all week. Drink up, shriners.

hey mip

Did you know that Fort Payne, AL, which I have passed through many times, is not only the home of hideous redneck country band Alabama, but ALSO the Sock Capital of the World? It's true!



Hey, that reminds me of a joke: Turtle and a rabbit are standing at the side of the road and waiting for a break in traffic so they can cross. Rabbit starts to walk across. Turtle says, "Hey, man, watch out--there's a car coming!" Rabbit stops and gives turtle a dirty look. A few minutes pass and there's still no break in traffic. Rabbit starts across the road again. Turtle says, "Wait, dude--you're gonna get run over!" Rabbit stops, sighs, and says, "Damn, man, what do you think I am, a SOCK?"

All right, I'm going to be up working for a good while tonight, so you hip chicks and fellers gotta give me something to keep checking in on.

Tell me your top five rock songs of all time. Er, OK--I don't really believe in ranking music like that, so just give me five songs that really kick ass. It can be pretty much anything, but it has to rock. "You Dropped a Bomb on Me"? Fine. That song thumps. "Ripple"? Nuh-uh. Great song (yes, I'm actually admitting to liking a Grateful Dead song), but it just don't rock, dig? And try to think of something that's practically perfect. Like if the bridge sucks, don't list it. If it's got a kung-fu jam section that gets a little too out there, kill it. Oh, and try to limit yourself to one song per band.

Here's five from me. OK, so I can't limit myself to five, so here's a few. Gimme however many you want to.

"Kill Yourself"--Stormtroopers of Death

"Fun House"--The Stooges

"Bonin' in the Boneyard"--Fishbone

"Ace of Spades"--Motorhead

"Into the Void"--Black Sabbath

"In My Time of Dying"--Led Zeppelin

"Ghouls' Night Out"--The Misfits

"Thieves"--Ministry

"Joe McCarthy's Ghost"--The Minutemen

"She Watch Channel Zero?!"--Public Enemy (w/ a killer Slayer sample)

OK, what's that, ten? Wow, and that's leaving all kinds of bands out. I'd better stop and get to work. Discuss amongst yourselves.
